Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great instructional book
I received this book along with the DVD "Simplified Taci Chi Chuan" 24 & 48 postures and would definitely recommend purchasing both. This book talks about the history of tai chi, guideline for body movements and breathing, warm-up exercises, a VERY helpful diagram that shows you exactly how you will be moving, and then throughly goes through all the postures. Great for anyone, but definitely recommended for the beginner. Very interesting and helpful. Thank you.
Rating: - Excellent book
It is a very good book for individual to learn and for coach to refer.
Rating:  - Nicely written
Good overview of the practice. Explains why each movement is relevant and how it is effective. Pretty good overall.
Rating: - Way better than most ...
No book can be everything to everyone. That said, this book is far more informative and useful than many of the 20 or 30 Tai Chi books I own. For the beginner or intermediate student, this will be very useful. For someone interested in the martial aspects of Tai Chi, this will be a good introduction. It is, after all, only a 150 page book ! It's not a 20 volume Tai Chi encyclopedia.
Rating: - Great for Beginners
This book is a concise introduction to Tai Chi Chuan. It details two Yang-style forms: 24 and 48 postures and includes martial art applications for the movements.
An impressive array of short biographies is presented at the beginning of this YMAA publication, providing the reader with a sense of well-founded authority.
An excellent summary of the written and oral histories of Tai Chi is given, including a chart showing the origins of the five major styles of Tai Chi.
